The summer 2016 Olympic games officially begin on August 5th. These games mark the Olympiad’s first in South America. To commemorate the beauty of this locale, NAILS asked artists to take inspiration from Rio de Janeiro and translate it onto nail tips.

It’s a tie! Congratulations to this year’s Mini Masterpiece Contest co-winners. Ashley Loveridge charmed the judges with her “Green Turaco,” while Lee Antolini impressed all with her spot-on “Seated Woman.” You’re sure to enjoy the tremendous talent on display in all the entries.

If you’ve got male clients, you’ve got the potential to sell even more nail art. A single finger or two is all that’s needed to give your guy some style savvy. Take inspiration from pop culture or opt for an all dark polish color to put the “man” in “manicure.”

Beauty Changes Lives held its fourth annual event following the first day of ABS Chicago. The BCL Experience was titled Shout Your Beauty and featured NextGen artists walking the runway with their models at Chicago's Soldier Field.
